   we turned up far too early for our booking but the host was really nice and showed us where to stand and answered our questions about the menu. We had the feast for 2 - which we’ve had before. It is a mix of vegetarian dishes and meat dishes from the Wahaca menu; including two types of tacos (chicken and beef - both fantastic) and their signature sweet potato and queso fresco taqito. Everything on this pre-selected list of dishes is worth eating and the food is a very generous amount for two. It is worth mentioning the quality of the tortillas which are quite fab. I didn’t get the guacamole today but if you go you should - they do a very nice one of those. I also recommend their fish tacos!! I never go to wahaca without getting beef tacos. Dessert was a huge portion of ice creams - vanilla, chocolate and dulce de leche - totally drenched in caramel and chocolate sauces with brownie pieces. Even for my sweet tooth it was a lot so one to share was plenty. The house bitter hot chocolate was genuinely a lovely thing. I’ve been lucky to have Michelin guide Mexican at a lovely place in Madrid and I’d say Wahaca is of a quality that’s not too many steps down. It’s busy, casual, quick service, and a genuinely fantastic menu. Not too spicy and not a jalapeño in sight - we both hate the things. Healthy ingredients and honestly the vegetarian dishes are not to be missed. My passion fruit and hibiscus mocktail is worth mentioning as it was very nice and their house cider is cans of the medium-dry craft cider Gravity Theory, which I very much rate. 7/ 10. A great meal for a very reasonable price.

   We had dinner at Wahaca last night and it was great. The service provided by George was great. He was really friendly, asking how our day was and giving great advice on the menu choices. He was really attentive. The food was very tasty and the margarita and mojito were yum. Would recommend and ask for George!

   Not your average Mexican! Loved the food here and the service. A really different take on the standard fare but be careful! Some are super hot! tThe only one I didn't like was the cheese balls. Didn't quite like the texture but all good apart from that.

   Came in by accident and didn't expect much (the restaurant looked understaffed). However, the food was delicious, the cocktails were really nice and the service was welcoming and quick! We had a real great experience

   Delicious Mexican themed food, the pork pibil tacos are amazing. We got one of the set menus and it was a great option to trying out many dishes. Definitely will be back.

   Nice menu with good vegetarian and vegan options. The sauces could be given for free. They suggest 3-4 small plates but 2/person were sufficient for us. In the drinks, I'd recommend the strawberry daiquiri and the hibiscus tequila cocktail. Enzo did an amazing job with the service and he was very attentive. Well maintainet bathrooms.

   Absolutely amazing Mexican food in the heart of Edinburgh. The waiter was very helpful and attentive. The guacamole is a must, very fresh. We had a selection of tacos and quesadillas, all very tasty… Spicy margaritas are savage!
